Well, do we want to take "additional precautions" ? While I
originally found the redirect solution nice when you proposed it, the
fact that it doesn't work with certain backends makes it not very
useful. So I would tend to defer the work of being quiet to each
individual backend, and not attempt to do anything specific at the
wrapper level.

Best regards,

Thomas
